Line 107:
-Yeah, Arlette thought. This town seems to have more than one secret. She was intrigued by the Rackets, a dark, gloomy and powerful family. Arlette then wondered if they coud get away with their actions that easily indefinetly...
==Chapter Two==
Three days later, [[Mary Baker]], gifted cook who worked at the local brewery, went out to get her newspaper. She thought of that whole curse story. Many people thought of that whole curse story. And psychosis was about to strike in town since many people were more gullible than me, she thought. As if the entire town was now cursed since two egyptologists who opened a tomb lived there! Preposterous! Many of them were certain that death would strike again. This is all that darn fortune teller's fault. She said that there would be more deaths. As if I was about to encounter a corpse, right now!
Mary gazed at the Racket's manor.
-If something terrible happened, I wouldn't have any doubts about the killers. Those ones fiddle evil things.
Then she saw somebody lying on the ground behind their hydrangea parterre.
-That must be [[Silver Racket|Silver]] trying to get a tan. What a dimwit. She didn't realized yet that she is whiter than an aspirin!
However, Mary realized that it wasn't Silver Racket. The woman's skin was slightly more livid... Mary approached and discovered with horror the lifeless body of Pixie Carlton.
==Chapter Three==
-In this case, at least, there is no ambiguity, decreed the inspector [[Dee Tex|Deena Tex]].
The forensic specialist found out that Mrs Carlton was poisoned with mercury. One had found a broken thermometer in the hydrangeas. The case appeared to be clear. The Rackets must have been guilty. However, the constable [[Bill Copperfield|Copperfield]] had some doubts about it. And he shares these doubts with the inspector.
-Dee, are you sure that the Rackets have done the deed?
-Who else might have? Deena asked.
-I think that it's the daugher, Sofia. She has a mobile.
-True. I don't see why Marigold & Co would have killed Pixie. However, she could have discovered something against them. This is highly unlikely, since the police have been seeking evidence for years. But Mrs Carlton was a notable gossip.
-This is possible indeed. However, I still doubt it. The Racket are almost undeniably criminal geniuses. We are searching a single valid clue against them for nearly thirty years. Would they let a corpse and the murder weapon in their own bush? That would equal suicide: it would be a horrible mistake! After all what they accomplished? This is absurd! I would rather investigate Miss Carlton.
-You're probably right, reluctantly admitted Deena.
Sofia Carlton was subsequently arrested for her mother's murder. The thermometer was identified as Sofia's by a neighbor. Sofia had no alibi despite claiming having one. She however had a mobile. And some slight trace of mercury in her garden.
However, Sofia's alibi occured to be real: a young botanist, named Matthew Smith, claimed to have gotten ou of fuel in front of Miss Carlton's house (she and her mother did not live together), and asked her for some gazoline approximatively at the time of the crime. He then fled to France and didn't hear about the murder until he came back. And Sofia now had an alibi. And she had to be released.
